FAQs

What health precautions are in place? All welding and personal protection equipment has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Each participant must wear welding gloves, safety glasses, and a welding hood during the workshop. You may also bring and use your own PPE. Hand sanitizer, hand soap, and water are readily available in the shop, as well as disinfectant cleaners.

Oh no! I’m sick! What should I do? If a participant is ill, please do not attend the workshop. No exceptions. We will gladly reschedule your session. The same goes for us—if Josh were to get sick, we would reschedule the workshop. We love to share our shop space, but not germs.

What is the minimum age requirement for the workshop? The minimum age for this workshop is 14. (If you have a younger student interested in welding, don’t hesitate to get in touch with darla@browndogwelding.com.)

What should I wear? Please wear leather or canvas boots/shoes, and a pair of jeans that cover your entire leg and ankle. You might get dirty from metal dust, so don’t wear your favorite outfit. If you need glasses, please bring them. It is important that you can see under the welding helmet. If you use “cheater” glasses for up-close reading, please bring those! If you have long hair, please bring a hair tie. You might also want to bring a bandana to keep your hair from getting caught in the welding helmet.

Is it ok if the name on my registration doesn’t match the person who attends? Absolutely. Just be sure to contact us with the name of the person taking your ticket. We will need their registration information and agreement to our safety and cancellation policies on record.

Coming in from out of town? We’d love to suggest local accommodations, dining, and sightseeing suggestions. We love Detroit and would love for you to enjoy it, too! Email darla@browndogwelding.com for info.
